Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 1G, 4x 25G, 2x 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-L1NBD-9220I

Keep critical east-west and north-south traffic moving with a Cisco Nexus 9300 platform configured for dense access and high-speed uplinks. The 48 1G ports support server, appliance, and edge connectivity, while 4 25G ports provide fast aggregation paths and 2 100G QSFP28 ports open capacity for spine, core, or high-bandwidth interconnects. This configuration is built for environments that need more than basic switching. It gives infrastructure teams the port mix to segment workloads, reduce oversubscription, and preserve headroom as traffic grows. That matters when you are standardizing on a fabric design, extending virtualization clusters, or connecting storage and compute tiers that cannot tolerate bottlenecks. Cisco Nexus switching is often chosen where operational consistency and fabric scale are worth the premium. Compared with lower-tier access switches, this model is positioned for data center teams that need stronger uplink options, cleaner growth paths, and a platform that can sit inside a larger switching architecture without forcing a redesign later. Ideal For Leaf switching for virtualized server racks Aggregation for mixed 1G and 25G access layers High-bandwidth uplinks to spine or core switches Data center edge connectivity for appliances and storage Why This Product 1 More uplink headroom than basic access switches 2 Mixed 1G, 25G, and 100G connectivity in one chassis 3 Better suited to data center fabrics than office switches 4 Cisco Nexus platform for standardized enterprise deployments
